Christmas Grapes
I love berries and grapes and their appearance has always fascinated me. I've tried to paint them before, but I've always been disappointed at the result. It has been a challenge for me to try to capture their shapes. My mother recently gave me some special, Christmas Grapes, which are supposedly only sold around the holidays. Ah... before I could eat them I was faced with another opportunity to try to paint the grapes. I kept looking at them, and looking.... wondering how I could paint them. One night I got brave and gave it a shot. This is what I came up with. At last I was able to eat the grapes - very tasty. Sometime I'll have to try painting raspberries ....

These are beautiful. I love the colours. They've blended so well and give a real third dimension to the fruits. They look perfect, Claire. Really liking the page layout too.
This is a lovely spread...Your color palette soft and beautiful! :)
